Not sure if this belongs to installer, if not, move appropriately. Linux Ubuntu 10.10: I've "Automatic proxy configuration" selected in Network Proxy Preferences with "http://wpad/wpad.dat" URL. When I'm trying to report exceptions from withing NetBeans IDE (I've "Use System Proxy Settings" selected in Tools -> Options -> General), it can not connect to the remote host: INFO [org.netbeans.modules.uihandler.Installer]: Checking password failed java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.doConnect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:316) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:177) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:164) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:390) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:578) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:527) at sun.net.NetworkClient.doConnect(NetworkClient.java:178) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(HttpClient.java:377) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(HttpClient.java:470) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.<init>(HttpClient.java:210) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(HttpClient.java:293) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(HttpClient.java:305) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getNewHttpClient(HttpURLConnection.java:873) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect(HttpURLConnection.java:809) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.connect(HttpURLConnection.java:727) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1164) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.uihandler.Installer$Submit.checkUserName(Installer.java:1769) at org.netbeans.modules.uihandler.Installer$Submit.access$1200(Installer.java:1395) at org.netbeans.modules.uihandler.Installer$Submit$1.run(Installer.java:1676) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:1423) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:1967)
not an installer issue. btw, there's an easy WA: either enter the proxy settings manually in the IDE or enter the proxy url directly in the OS settings (that's how i managed to solve this). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 193683 ***
